Hey guys...i tried rewiring my strat with SSS config two days ago...only the bridge pickup worked..but i followed the wiring schematics as shown
...
but since that didn't work, i went around to look for more schematics..and found this one
...which seems to have quite a bit of difference..
So which diagram should i follow? Considering its the face view of the back of the pickguard
and does it matter which way i place my 5way switch? What could have went wrong? Maybe a spoilt 5 way switch or pot?
Oh and when i solder the grounds onto the pots, i tin the pot with solder first? I am using a 40 W soldering iron, so how many seconds max should my soldering iron touch the pot?
